Have your food safety management system recognized as compliant with ISO 22000, the essential international standard for identifying and controlling food safety hazards.
Aimed at all players in the agri-food chain, ISO 22000 certification is a risk management tool. It guarantees food safety and the supply of safe products to consumers. It incorporates the principles of the HACCP standard to meet the requirements of EU hygiene regulations.
WHAT IS ISO 22000 CERTIFICATION?

The revised version of ISO 22000, published in 2018, simplifies the standard and clarifies terminology and definitions. It uses the same unified framework structure as the other ISO management system standards, enhancing their compatibility.
